What is James Hardie?

HardiePlank Siding was created by James Hardie in Melbourne Australia in 1887 and has been going strong ever since. HardiePlank is made from a combination of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers. It is not a wood-based product such as LP and most other products on the market. Because it is a Fiber Cement product, that comes with resistance to rain, hail, high winds, storms, snow, ice, harsh humidity, and temperature changes. Also, it is fire resistant and won’t contribute to a fire because it isn’t combustible. This product uses HardiePlank’s baked-on ColorPlus technology keeps colors locked in and vibrant longer.

This product is quite simply the best option for our environment, since it has also been around for so long you don’t have to worry about it being discontinued. Like these other wood-based/wood Composite products like LP Smartside, these wood products will be discontinued and disappear from the market about every 15 years. Another new wood-based product made of just OSB or Plywood will come out and the cycle repeats. 2 of the biggest names would be Masonite and LP Canexel which is the same product and company as LP Smartside.

How Much Does HardiePlank Siding Cost?

When comparing costs between different siding materials it’s often best to use the cheapest and most widely available option as a base which is vinyl siding. On a typical siding project, HardiePlank siding is going to be 2 – 3 times more expensive than vinyl siding. There are several different factors that drive up the costs of HardiePlank siding as well as other similar fiber cement products, such as higher demand, fewer siding contractors willing to install it, and higher shipping costs. Certified installers are required for James Hardie fiber cement products.

Pest, Fire, Water, and Rot-Resistant
HardiePlank siding doesn’t contain any substantial amount of wood, making it resistant to both rot and termites. It also does not contain any material that would contribute to a blaze, making it safer and completely fire-resistant. Because of the material, HardiePlank will not take in or soak up any water.
Long Warranty
30 year non-pro rated warranty. 15 year non-pro rates warranty on finishes.

A homeowner can achieve the aesthetic of wood, without the maintenance. Typical vinyl siding is very easy to identify because it looks plastic and manufactured, even from a distance.
